baltic_dragon Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 "Operation Pontus“ is a story driven dynamic campaign consisting of you in the role of an experienced US Navy Squadron leader taking part in operations in the Black Sea. You will have the opportunity to plan your strategy and assign different tasks to your squadron. The progress of the campaign depends on your actions and performance during each mission. Your actions can affect the Air Superiority status, the Ground Operations progress and the general morale of your squadron. You, as the squadron leader of 131st VFA, have to plan and execute each mission carefully, in order to avoid friendly casualties, collateral damages and finally succeed the campaign. This campaign is being developed by 373vFS Greg (author of the "Argo" Huey campaign) and petritis and I have a pleasure to be involved in its creation as well. 2 For more information, please visit my website.

dawgie79 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Will this one be released at the same time as the Raven One campaign? Makes it easier to purchase both in one go. :)

Qiou87 Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Definitely an interesting proposition! I am curious how you will manage the flexibility of a dynamic campaign and the story aspects. I welcome any high-quality DLC F/A-18C campaign with open arms, I am always happy to support quality work!

DerFangzahn Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 How do you want to manage the interactive planing part? DCS does not support such interface. Or is a simple system which selects different missions files depending on the outcome of the previous mission?

Or is a simple system which selects different missions files depending on the outcome of the previous mission? DCS offers the "Mission Planner" interface, in which the player will be doing most of the planning, based on the intel he receives, the status updates and the guideline that will be available. I believe the campaign, is done in the way in which the player will feel the dynamic aspect and will be able to enjoy this different gameplay style. We hope you will all like it. More details shall be available soon. :) I was waiting for a new UH1 campaign from Greg.

Qiou87 Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 I was waiting for a new UH1 campaign from Greg. This is a surprise Since I'm flying the Huey 40% of the time, and the Hornet the rest, I don't mind if we get 2 of Greg's quality campaigns in the next few months. :) More details shall be available soon. :) Great! I look forward to it (patiently, take your time to make quality work, I think DCS needs more polished products and less rushed releases, so no stress from me - it's ready when you guys are sure it's ready ;) ).

ataribaby Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Super excited about this. Please how do you handle persistence between missions like destroyed / achieved goals? DCS do not support anything like that without lua fiddling and clearing some prune in missionScripting. I know you can use result score to some mission branching but it grows geometrically as you progress deep into missions and became unmanageable. Edited July 8, 2020 by ataribaby
